Activism
Purchase Fahrenheit 9/11. Why? Because he's planning on making a sequel, and it's going to need support. You may not be too fond of Michael Moore, but there's no debating that his movie helped motivate the media to finally ask questions about the war in Iraq.
News
One of the most under-the-radar stories to happen over the last few months is the appointment of Porter J. Goss to CIA Director. John E. McLaughlin, the Deputy Director of the CIA, resigned on Friday, citing massive confrontations with some of Goss's newly hired staff. What's worse, he doesn't appear to be the last one to leave.
High Achievers Leaving Schools Behind. How's that No Child Left Behind thing working out? It's not. Just ask our soon-to-be former Secretary of Education, Rod Paige.
Hush Up Now. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist wants Democrats to lay off the filibuster, in terms of federal court nominees. Frist actually called juducial filibusters "nothing less than a formula for tyranny by the minority." Apparently, we're supposed to forget that in 1995, Republicans filibustered Bill Clinton's nomination of Henry Foster to the position of Surgeon General because he had admitted to performing abortions in the past.
Editorials
Frank Rich explains why Republicans taking the "moral values" road is hypocrisy, and a victory for Democrats.
On Tuesday, November 2nd, there was a lot of talk about exit polls, which showed Kerry doing very well, especially in swing states. In fact, based on exit polls, the Kerry camp was popping champagne at 4 in the afternoon. So why was everyone wrong? Steven Freeman, at the University of Pennsylvania, explains what exit polls are, and that they were wrong, but that we still don't know why.
Peter Beinart is the editor of The New Republic, and has a very interesting editorial up about how liberals and conservatives see voting differently.
Television
Last Letters Home. If you have HBO, you owe it to yourself to watch this documentary. It chronicles the stories of ten soldiers who died in Iraq, as told through the letters they wrote home, which are read by their surviving family members.
George W. Bush Quote of the Day
"In my judgment, when the United States says there will be serious consequences, and if there isn't serious consequences, it creates adverse consequences."
